This is a GREAT weapon in any arsenol of weapons for online poker play! When you first sit down at a table, you know nothing about your opponents. As you play you make notes and collect data on them so you know how to play them. In a cash game, it can work but usually after you have spent quite some time playing them and either LOST MONEY gaining information or MISSED OPPORTUNITIES TO WIN MONEY while you gather your intel. Imagine sitting down at a table and INSTANTLY having some information ON SCREEN about a number of your opponents and you've NEVER PLAYED THEM BEFORE! This program has saved me THOUSANDS of dollars already in the first few months of using it! It supports all of the most popular poker sites too! They offer live chat support and a FANTASTIC user forum plus online and e-mail support.
Every time you sit down at a table it loads the HUD (Heads Up Display) and every player that has been tracked in the central database has their stats right there in front of you to work from. Instantly know who are the tightest and loosest players at the table in a 10 second glance around the table. Know who wins the most at showdowns and who wins the least. It will show which ones try to steal the blinds more often and which ones fold to steals. Not only that, it will show how often they will go to showdown if they see the flop AND how many hands they have tracked. All in under a minute You have a brief overview of most of the players at the table and sometimes EVERY player at the table. ALL of this before the first hand is dealt! During the first few hands you can study more data on each player. A lot of key stats are right on the table just by hovering your cursor over thier icon you get a wealth of data such as what an opponents potential for a C-Bet is, what is his win percent if he raises preflop, how often he raisese preflop, what his win percentage is if he bets the flop or raises the flop and up to 20 more key stats ALL of which are fully customizable by you FOR you the way YOU play and the info YOU want.
For even GREATER details, you can click on their names in the lookup window and click through the tabs for EACH STREET and know what they do and WHEN they do it. To make it even SIMPLER each player has an icon by them on the table so you know instantly who the sharks, mice, rocks, maniacs, calling stations, fish and bombs are. How it works: Every time a PE (Poker-Edge) user sits at a table, the program gathers all the stats on all the players at the table in real time as they play. Every few minutes it sends this information to the central databases, sorts it, and sends it back to every PE user. So your HUD is constantly updated with current intel on your opponent. If any opponent was played by a PE user, the minute you sit at that opponents table, you will have the collective data of ALL the PE users that have played that opponent before right there at your table as if you yourself had played him for 50 hands, 500 hands, 50,000 hands and MORE! But think about this, that means OTHER players also know about YOU! That's right, your opponent is sitting over there and may be a PE user going over YOUR stats and know all about you already while you sit there and play naked. But here's a BONUS! ALL PE USERS HAVE THE OPTION TO BLOCK THEIR STATS! You can keep YOUR information private so only YOU know all your details.
That's the next big thing about this program. That ability to READ YOUR EVERY MOVE and hand you back that data so you can find and PLUG LEAKS in your game! Tweak your game to become the most profitable player you can become. Are you stealing to little or too much? Steal too much and you can't pull off a bluff. Steal too little and you leave money on the table. Didn't you know that stealing is a major part of the game and essential for winners? OY! We have much to show you elsewhere on this site too. But what about your raising, are raising too much preflop or on the flop or not enough? What is your PFCC (PreFlop Cold Call) ratio? Too high and you are playing too many hands at the wrong time out of position, too low and you are missing opportunities to build your stack.
PE works GREAT in TOURNIES AND CASH GAMES! That's right, this program works for the one table SNG (STT) or multi-Table SNG's (MTT-SNG) or the big tourney's with 1,000's of players (MTT). For me, this is a MUST HAVE TOOL! Millions of hands are tracked AND they run their own data tracking server farm so while PE users are playing, they are monitoring 1,000's of tables on many sites at the same time gathering intel for their users! There are two ways to get this program. Of course like most out there, you can get it for free to start by signing up at one of the supported sites. It is a subscription based program and worth every penny. It's ridiculously cheap for what you can do with it. I HIGHLY recommend you download it and just start your subscription outright. Right now it's about $30 or so a month paid quarterly but discounted for a year subscription. Just go for the quartely subscription that way you can pay for it out of my poker winnings and it don't cost you anything out of pocket that way! You also want to qualify for your own bonus and our promo's by using our sign up code at Full Tilt of SNGspot.
In addition, you also will have data on PRO PLAYERS! That's right, I demo'd this program and was playing a number of pros at FULL TILT and used historical data from PE to BEAT THEM! I took a pro out in a big MTT AND I beat a particular well known pro TWICE in BACK TO BACK SNG games taking them out in both games simply because I had PE stats and of course my own game observation skills to gain a read and develop my profile on them. NO program will replace your own game play skills of course. But this program DRAMATICALLY INCREASES YOUR SKILLS and shortens your learning curve tremendously!
Do you play a lot of cash games? AH! They have an optional plug in called Lobby Edge that is just AWESOME! It's NEW and currently only supports three sites but more are in programming right now! Click the link in PE for LE and instantly search multiple sites and EVERY CASH GAME at those sites based on the criteria YOU want. It will list AND rank all the tables on a star system of 1-5 stars from toughest to the fishiest! Click on the table link and see what players are at the table, their overall stats and their historic tracked bottom line, are they winning or losing! Pick your table, click on it and get logged in to join the table and get to work! Lobby-Edge is a one time add on for subscribers. Once you have it, you never pay again. I know some that bought and DOUBLED THEIR INVESTMENT THE FIRST DAY IN A MATTER OF HOURS! They simply let it find the tables, went with the top ranked "fishy" ones with 5 stars, sat down and WON. Of course everyone's results will vary, but I don't see anyone complaining at their forum! Their users all swear by it and use it faithully.
Maybe you are just starting out. You can read books, play some play money games, learn some basics and try your hand at real money games. Maybe you'll do ok. But probably you'll do like many do and waste a year of time working on your game and reloading and losing a few grand in that time frame before discovering PE. THE AVERAGE POKER PLAYER LOSES MONEY! That's just a simple fact of life. Most tournaments have prizes for the top 15-30% of the entrants seated. Everyone else LOSES! Do you want to be an average player? HECK no! You have to be an above average player in order to win at poker. It's a game of skill, numbers, statistics odds AND players with some luck thrown in on the cards dealt. HOW you play them is what is important. You aren't going to get dealt AA more than once in 230 hands or so on average statistically. Even then, it's not going to be the winner at the end of the hand every time. It's what you do with what you know that counts. The MORE you know, the MORE you will win. Knowledge is power and NOTHING gives you more knowledge on your game and that of your opponents than Poker-Edge!
